Video

Hi, i'm watching this video and i just came up with a question: do you think there's a vst, a software, or even a tool from sonic visualizer that's capable of detecting sounds and instruments in songs?

Did you really just talk half an hour about some musical gibberish nonsense piece because a few notes move in an obvious pattern?

Dear Mr. Andrew, while I myself am not a musicologist (just a HIP enthusiast), and thus might be missing important context in this quick search, I went ahead and checked different editions of the Kreisleriana, Op. 16 on the International Music Score Library Project (IMSLP) as well. Interestingly enough there are two more editions in which the pointed out sixteenth note is not there in bar number 27, at least on IMSLP - the "Moscow: Muzyka" edition and one edited by Ray Alston. Apologies this wasn't very insightful, would be lovely to look at the original manuscript (please do share if you find out something more on it). Best regards

44:25 if you like to explore mensural canon’s as a topic, I have a piece that you will really like (I think): Missa Prolationum by Johannes Ockeghem

I enjoyed hearing your thoughts. A colleague of mine, Carl Schmidt, is just releasing a new book on Poulenc (about his Dialogues of the Carmelites) you might be interested in. He had a direct connection to Poulenc at the end of his life.

Is Barron a red cattle? He's beautiful

I enjoyed your wisdom 🙏🏽

nice to meet you. nice space.

I think we are experiencer, experienced and experience itself.

you are your habits ~ the difference from 0 to 1 is the most important~ Thank you I got a lot out of this.

Keep our wits about all of it ❤

Thank you 🙏🏻

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

The Millvale sketch is one of the absolute highlights of The Limmy Show

The tiny island that Millport is on is called 'Cumbrae'. How weird is that.

That Limmy sketch is so heartbreaking

this sounds like being in an MRI chamber

Awesome!

Hey! I really enjoy your videos about Messiaen, do you have a pdf or an online version of the Traité?

Very useful! Thanks for sharing!

Excellent video!

I would be very glad if you would continue the Messiaen serie! (So enjoyable to watch your video’s!!) thanks for all the effort you put in!🙏

thanks for this review! I am seeing him play them soon in Melbourne, Australia. Which of the 2 Schiff recordings is your favorite? To me the ECM recording is near definitive but my other favorite and the only one I have ever heard that is anything like Olaffsson is the Yevgeni Koroliov recording on Hanssler. He's incredibly witty and sparkly (I think of the Goldbergs as fundamentally a sunny cheerful work with occasional moments of calm or sadness but if a performance doesn't bring out the wit and humour of Bach's invention something is missing for me)

Music in the house--so lovely!

There was absolutely no bass solo

Great Andrew! How do you think Messiaen develops his harmonic progressions?

I can’t wait to read this book! Thank you for introducing it to me. ✨🕯️🌞💖🎵🩵🕊️🕯️✨

Is there a protocol for obtaining the pointing out instruction? I have a friend who could either dither for the rest of this lifetime, or who could meet a teacher and do something more useful. Do many retreats include the instruction? Is it okay to ask for the instruction, or does one need to have a close connection to a teacher to start with? I do not know how to advise him as he seems highly interested, yet also afraid.

I'm also in Pittsburgh and attended the PSO Sunday. What a remarkable concert! Avdeeva is one of my favorites too. She plays with such depth, weight, and emotion. She was astonishing in the Prokofiev. The Dvorak encore was magical. I'm told on Friday she played the Toccatina from Weinberg's Suite "Life of the Machines" and Saturday she played a Chopin Nocturne (not sure which one). About the solo version of Pictures, Avdeeva has a fantastic performance of the piece on CZcams: czcams.com/video/F1pk1MzX61Q/video.html

Clare Gilbert says let him cook 🪃

got some cool sounds in there!

It's always these small errors that annoy you more and more every time you rewatch a movie. Merry christmas!

I completely understand your question about what Messiaen means by 'resonance superior' and 'inferior'. To be fair I also was rather confused by it… haha The only thing I can think of is that Messiaen makes a distinction between a resonance that lasts longer and is therefore 'better', i.e. superior, and that the inferior resonance achieves that desired effect less well. Of all the examples that Messiaen gives, the pattern can be seen that at the resonance superior, bass notes are played and then (higher) notes are played afterwards. Those higher notes fit more or less into the overtone spectrum of the note in question, so that the resonance of mainly the bass notes continues longer and you also hear the resonance of the higher tones. While with inferior resonance, higher notes are always played first and then a further blow comes from a number of bass tones. This means you hear the bass tones very well and for a long time, but the sound and resonance of the upper tones is a bit drowned out; and therefore this form of resonance is subordinate; inferior to the other form of resonance. I could very well be wrong... but I am curious about your thoughts on the matter

I was also stuck particularly on this part, which is why I turned to CZcams and came across your channel. Your series helped the few blocks I had studying Messiaen’s musical language, thank you very much!

I hope it goes well.

I like the emphasis on not being punitive either

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this topic!

⭐️ I love the idea you described of having a focus against which to evaluate projects, opportunities etc. to help ensure that actions well align with values and other priorities. Thank you for making this video. 🕊️

Thank you for this helpful sharing. I have been meditating for 10 yrs doing zazen and for 15 yrs prior to that doing a TM practice that morphed into ??? stillness? I still feel the need to ground myself in this "recognition" of awareness, some call awareness of awareness. It's doesn't seem to me that it is illusive, more like veiled and can't "self liberate" without first "polishing the mirror" with a settling down practice of some sort. Just my 0.2cents. Thanks and be well.

Andrew, regarding the overtone series that you diagram around 5:10, if the fundamental is C, the 11th overtone is in between F and F#, but it is slightly closer to F# than it is to F natural. Here are the details, assuming an even-tempered chromatic scale. F will have a frequency of 2^(5/12) times whatever frequency C is. The decimal approximation is 1.334839854 . F# will have a frequency of 2^(6/12)..., which has a decimal approximation of 1.414213562 . The 11th harmonic will have a frequency of 11/8 which is 1.375 exactly. If you take the ratio of F and the 11th harmonic, you get a ratio of 0.970792621 . However, if you take the ratio of the 11th harmonic and F#, you get a ratio of 0.972271824 , which is closer to 1. This means that 11th harmonic is closer to F# than F, which means that Messiaen didn't arbitrarily sharpen the F. He chose the note in the even-tempered chromatic scale that is closest to the 11th harmonic.

Hey Andrew, thanks for this great video! I was wondering in which piece(es) Messiaen is using the Chord on the dominat?

I would love to hear it with some backing tracks that flowed underneath this. But I tend to work with many many tracks so that’s just me. Interesting piece.

thanks for sharing Congratulations that’s amazing!!

Great constellation of ideas. Thank you! As a physicist, my way of thinking about symmetries has to do with group theory, as a language to describe them, but the meaning of symmetry seems to be deeply ontological as a way to restrain possibility and thus allow for an understanding of the necessity of what actually is. Specifically, the basic symmetries of nature given by the special theory of relativity and quantum mechanics, when combined (i cannot resist analogy to the vertical and horizontal being combined in music) prescribe the types of fundamental particles that can exist. So far we have found all but one type, the spin 3/2, which is prescribed by enlarging the symmetries seen thus far to supersymmetry. Thousands of scientists are looking for that in CERN and other places. What I am saying is that this way of thinking about the world of music is perfectly mirrored in the way we think about the world of matter. It is a special convergence and I hope it adds to your constellation. There are many more ideas to be discussed on this topic, for example a method to generalize Messiaen's procedure of combining the vertical and horizontal. Kind regards!

Good practice in self reflection
